The Ria Formosa is a protected floodplain that empties and fills with the tides. Trips to this natural paradise are wonderful. Shell collectors are out and about here, salt is extracted and you can observe all kinds of animal species, from crabs to storks and flamingos.

Magnificent wooden footbridge where bicycles are allowed in the middle of a protected marsh.
